bio
It all started in Southern California in the mid-1980’s with a tape deck. As a child, Robert Alexander had a natural curiosity about hearing his own voice on a cassette recorder. He started singing with the radio playing in the background and began to record himself. As he grew, he started to perform in front of family and friends, singing and dancing with recorded music playing in the background. One year during the holidays, Robert received a Yamaha keyboard as a gift. As he grew into his early teens, he started creating mixtapes from songs on the radio. Much like a radio show, he added commentary (and even his own imaginary commercials) between songs. Soon enough, he was recording comedy skits and mix compilations on cassette with his friends. They all found great enjoyment in that activity. Robert is left-handed. In 1995 (on his 16th birthday), he took his late fathers right-handed guitar and received some help from friends to help him restring it into a playable left-handed guitar. From that point, Robert started to write original songs and lyrics, both singing and playing the guitar and singing his lyrics. Later on that year, he was gifted with an electric guitar and amplifier. In 1997, he purchased a 4-track cassette recorder and started to produce tracks by recording his guitar, keyboard, audio samples and vocals. From the time he started to play guitar, Robert was jamming with other musicians. In 2000, as he grew tired of unreliable percussionists, he was inspired to purchase a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). By purchasing this DAW, Little did he know that he was on the verge of diving into the realm of digital music production. The rest is history!
